Appendix V: Detailed Case Studies

The cases below are fictional composites used to demonstrate Titan decision rules. They are not clinical histories, predicted results or evidence that a protocol caused an outcome. Details are intentionally non-diagnostic; any medical, psychological or rehabilitation action is described only as a professional route.

Case 1: rebuilding a work routine after persistent fatigue

A knowledge worker reports inconsistent sleep opportunity, declining task completion and persistent fatigue. Titan does not label the cause. The first action is qualified assessment because the symptom is persistent and functionally important. The educational record captures workload, sleep opportunity, medication and caffeine context, and one bounded work task.

After professional restrictions are clear, the person reduces optional evening commitments, uses a feasible wind-down cue, and protects a realistic sleep opportunity. The direct outcome is completion quality on a defined morning task and daytime sleepiness; no wearable sleep-stage target or universal bedtime is used.

Case 2: maintaining function during early parenthood

Two parents face fragmented nights and unpredictable caring demands. The goal is maintenance, not progression. They negotiate protected rest where possible, accept help, use brief accessible movement when it improves well-being, and simplify food preparation. A four-hour sleep block, fixed nap, protein rule or training frequency is not prescribed.

Success is recorded as safe daily function, shared workload and lower burden. Persistent depression, anxiety, dangerous sleepiness or postpartum symptoms route to appropriate care.

Case 3: returning to a valued physical task after injury

A recreational athlete wants to resume a movement after pain and loss of function. Diagnosis, loading and return criteria are set by a qualified clinician or physiotherapist. Titan stores the approved task, support, symptoms, stop rule and comparable results; it does not use RICE, a fixed week count or pain tolerance as a universal pathway.

Case 4: preserving autonomy in later life

An older adult values independent shopping, social contact and community participation. The system assessment considers walking or wheeling, transfers, vision, hearing, medication, home hazards, transport and available support. Age does not generate a training prescription or cognitive score.

A professional may recommend strength, balance, assistive technology, hearing support or medication review where indicated. Titan measures the chosen function and burden. Maintenance or successful use of assistance is a valid result; no intervention is described as removing the cause of decline or preventing dementia.

Case-study reading rule

A case illustrates process: declare the function, route safety, name support, measure direct outcome, review burden and keep the claim narrow. It does not demonstrate an average result or tell another reader what to do.
